Please correct me if am wrong.
The Go library uses the timezone information from your system (on Unix, in /usr/share/zoneinfo or some such place), so if your system says that EST is always five hours from UTC, that is what you will get. That is what the timezone database generally says: EST is always five hours from UTC. On some systems, besides the choices you have already found, you can use EST5EDT to get a timezone that pays attention to daylight savings time.
